They say to me that I could be anything I want to be when I grow up They say, "you could be a pirate," but I say "But I don't want to be a pirate" And they say, "you could be a cowboy," but I say "But I don't wanna be a cowboy" And they say, "you could be Switzerland, why not be Switzerland?" And I say, "The only problem is, well I don't wanna be Switzerland." I wanna play music and watch tv all day I wanna tour from place to place They say, "man, that's fucking crazy" and I say, "it may be crazy but it's what I want to do." I don't want my whole life to depend on some tests I don't want to sit around at a desk I wanna do what I love to do best and I swear to god I'll do whatever I can to make it happen

r/Jesse 03:37
I watch you while you're sitting all alone after school But when I try to talk to you I stammer like a fool I like it when we lie and I can stare into your eyes Even though I know you're thinking of other guys When I think of you the sun shines right through But somehow the rain begins to pour too It's nice to feel penetrated by your rays But it always seems to end in a rainy day I always thought of you as the girl of my dreams But who the fuck would wanna date a guy like me? I guess I have bad luck with girls, what can I say? Maybe I'd be better off if I were gay You're fast asleep while I'm stressing out, trying to get everything figured out You're fast asleep while I'm stressing out, trying to get my life figured out You're fast asleep while I'm stressing out, trying to get my life figured out You're fast asleep while I'm stressing out, trying to get my life figured out You're fast asleep You're fast asleep You're fast asleep You're fast asleep

Open Door 02:33
Praying for an open door Walk right in, then just lie on the floor Lie and gaze, watch it slowly die The sun subsides into the dark night Sit behind the closed door Wait and wait until I can't anymore You know it's good to get some fresh air And when you do, I'll be waiting there How long now will I have to wait for another chance to come and stay? How long will it be before I can walk back through the door? How long will it be before I can walk back through the door?

Darling 03:41
"Listen to me darling as I speak these words Listen to me darling as I speak these words Listen to me darling as I speak these words Hold your head high so you don't get hurt" Hear me darling, hear me can you hear me screaming? My wound is getting bigger, I don't think it's healing See me darling see me can you see me bleeding? Feel me and you'll know my pain is not receding "Listen to me darling as I speak these words Listen to me darling as I speak these words Listen to me darling as I speak these words Hold your head high so you don't get hurt" "Listen to me darling as I speak these words Listen to me darling as I speak these words," and you said "Listen to me darling as I speak these words Hold your head high so you don't get hurt" I listened to you darling, now I feel like dying I don't even know why I fucking bothered trying I'm sorry darling, I wasted your precious time But the murder of a heart isn't a fucking crime But I can feel the casualty inside my chest This scheme has prematurely laid my heart at rest But don't you mind, you're fine just go about your days Eventually the memories will begin to fade Listen to me darling as I speak these words Listen to me darling as I speak these words Listen to me darling as I speak these words Hold your head high so you don't get hurt

On & On 04:08
On and on and on and on and on and on it goes On and on and on and on and on and on it goes The never ending cycle of me being too afraid Resulting in me never ever ever getting a date I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't I don't know what to do I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't I don't know what to do Because on and on and on and on and on and on it goes On and on and on and on and on and on it goes The never ending cycle of me being too afraid Resulting in me never ever ever getting a date I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't I don't know what to do I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't I don't know what to do Because on and on and on and on and on and on it goes On and on and on and on and on and on it goes On and on and on and on and on and on it goes On and on and on and on and on and on it goes She probably doesn't even know I exist, and if she does, she probably thinks that I'm a piece of shit I'm having trouble doping with it so I'll just try to pretend that I don't give a shit I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't know Because on and on and on and on and on and on it goes On and on and on and on and on and on it goes On and on and on and on and on and on it goes On and on and on and on and on and on it goes

Jeopardy! 02:31
This uncertainty is eating at me, and I can't relax This uncertainty is killing me, and I can't relax Life is essentially Just a big game of Jeopardy! What is to be killed randomly unaccomplished and lonely? Just to exist is taking a risk You can't predict the outcome of even the closest moment

Montgomery 03:34
What could be the odds that this would happen to me, Driving down the road in the middle of the week? It's raining pretty violently, it's getting hard to see This storm's about to pull me right up out of my seat Just a few more miles, man, I can make it home It's getting really hard, yeah I'm swerving off the road I try to call for help, but it seems I'm on my own My fate's appearing dark but I'm still holding on to hope I love you dearly Mom, and I love you dearly, Dad There's no doubt in my mind this situation's getting bad Let's focus on the bright side, man, life's been pretty rad There's nothing we can do so what's the point in being sad?

Despondency 04:51
12.
I'm one of the other fish in the sea your mom told you all about Right now I'm just blowing bubbles and swimming upside down and hanging out I'd make me the happiest fish in the sea if you'd swim along with me, we could hang out at my anemone and enjoy each other's fishy company It makes me the saddest fish in the sea to see you swimming around with him Yeah, it makes me the saddest fish in the sea knowing he has possession of your fin It makes me the saddest fish in the sea knowing that that could have possibly been me But I couldn't grow a tail and ask you to come along for a dip I'm supposed to be a fish in the sea, so why did I act like a pussy cat?

Fun in the sun, sun, sun Fun in the sun, sun, sun Fun in the sun, sun, sun Fun in the sun, sun, sun There's probably nothing that I could do To get with you, get with you There's probably nothing that I could do To get with you, get with you Fun in the sun, sun, sun Fun in the sun, sun, sun Fun in the sun, sun, sun Fun in the sun, sun, sun There's probably nothing that I could do To get with you, get with you There's probably nothing that I could do To get with you, get with you Fun in the sun, sun, sun Fun in the sun, sun, sun I'm just a bum in the sun, no fun, no sun, no fun, no fun No fun in the sun There's probably nothing that I could do To get with you, get with you There's probably nothing that I could do To get with you, get with you In the end I'll never ever ever win I'm way too lacking in my self confidence He beat me to the chase and now I fucking hate myself I wonder if I ever ever had a chance Or maybe she dismissed me at the first glance He's a good guy and all, but I hate to see her with him Fun in the sun, sun, sun Fun in the sun, sun, sun I'm just a bum in the sun, no fun, no sun, no fun, no fun No fun in the sun

Outer Space 04:57
We're surrounded by geography But disregard it constantly We only concern ourselves with the place in which we live But Planet Earth is really big, Planet Earth is big Planet Earth is really big, Planet Earth is big In the scope of human evidence, we're virtually insignificant But that doesn't stop the emphasis that we place upon ourselves But history is really big, history is big History is really big, history is big The trivial experiences that we centralize are hardly there, It won't be long before we die and they vanish in the air But for now we all must coexist 'Cause we're playing on the same court So there's no sense in holding a grudge When life is really short Like I wonder why you lied to me, but I could kind of tell You were smiling behind the counter top, but I hope that you're doing well And outer space is really big, outer space is big Outer space is really big, outer space is big 'Cause I have come to realize that all the shining stars in the sky Can symbolize many aspects of life And outer space is really big, outer space is big Outer space is really big, outer space is big

Soaring 02:32
When I'm with you we are soaring from everything We are flying inches from the sun We're secluded from everyone and I know Everything's gonna be okay Now we're falling from the clouds And there's nothing that can stop us now You're losing all your breath And I'm holding on to our death, and I know Nothing will be okay And I know nothing will be okay
